Arrived on a Sunday afternoon After making making a reservation. The location is great worth the drive, it's very green you will not believe you are in Dubai. Superb Food and service is great, friendly staff, nice outdoor area for kids to play and relax. Very serene.

We went for dinner and ordered the chicken pasta, quinoa salad and a rib eye steak. I was prepared for a long wait (based on previous Trip Advisor reviews) but the food didn't take as long as I thought - only the steak was a bit slow but the waiter came by to let us know it was on the way. The staff seem to be aware of the service issues and are trying to overcome this. When the steak arrived it was quite good - the side of sweet potato chips was even better I thought! The salad was fresh, the pasta average because it tasted like store bought pasta so lacked a little flavour.

The waiter we had was friendly and gave prompt service. The setting is - like everyone else has said - really beautiful. Unique for this part of the world. Inside felt a little cold (too much A/C) and quiet (no background music? No ambience).

Once they open up the glass doors for winter and deliver the food promptly - The Farm will be great.

Like others I have mentioned, the location and setting of The Farm is unreal. It is simply gorgeous and you can't quite believe you are even in Dubai! The lunch menu is extensive and provides everything you could want from fresh salads and sandwichs, to burgers and thai curries. However, we had a terrible time trying to book a table and even on arrival they admitted that their online reservation system wasn't working and they couldn't find our reservation. Nevermind, a table was found and all was well. The drinks are highly overpriced but most of the food is reasonable. The food was fresh and well cooked but if anything the portions were a tad on the small side. I do urge you that if you hoping for a quick lunch then this is most definitely not the place! Our two course lunch took three hours to complete with most of the mains being salads. The waitered ensured us after a rather long wait, the food would arrive in 5mins for it to arrive 120mins later...the mains were 3mins away and arrived 25mins later, eventually we were given no time estimate for the coffees and they arrived in drips and drabs after 20mins or so. It may have been eid, but they were by no means more than 75% full. The service needs an overhaul and more structure. The waiters seemed to be lost and wandering around aimlessly carrying drinks and plates of food! I would definitely go back again to try the breakfast which looks lovely, however I will be prepared for a very very leisurely meal.

Went there during Eid for a late lunch. Our table was booked for 4pm, we called in the morning and adjusted the number of people from 16 to 8 people. When we arrived, they said that we have to wait till 5, and the reservation was still the same. We placed the order, half of it arrived and the rest never came. We asked for it at least 4 times, until a manager came, and said the order was not missing. Then she promised that she will not charge us. So our ladies had to eat on their own while we (the men) went out for a smoke. They advertise for an afternoon tea, we asked for it at 4pm, they said they cannot serve it because the're too busy???????? We then sat outside for a coffee, lots of flies and insects around. We asked for the bill it came in full, not even a small discount. Overall, a very bad experience, i guess they don't get often so busy, so when the place is full, they don't seem to be trained enough to run the show properly.Not recommended at all. The only good thing is the scenery and surroundings.
